Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Augmentation Using a Free Connective Tissue Graft With an Epithelial Collar
29 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University
Application of a Free Connective Tissue Graft With an Epithelial Collar for Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Augmentation in Patients With Soft Tissue Deficiency Around Dental Implants
A prospective randomized interventional clinical trial (RCT) with a parallel-group design is planned.
The study sample will include 32 patients randomly allocated into two groups according to the surgical intervention performed.
In the first group, a free connective tissue graft with an epithelial collar will be used.
In the second group, a free connective tissue graft without an epithelial collar will be used.
In the postoperative period, assessment of changes in the width of keratinized mucosa, soft tissue thickness, pain severity, postoperative swelling, and patient quality of life will be performed.

Descripción detallada
The aim of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of free connective tissue grafts with and without an epithelial collar for peri-implant soft tissue augmentation. Examination and treatment of patients will be carried out at the Department of Oral Surgery of the E.V. Borovsky Institute of Dentistry, Sechenov University.
The study population will include patients with bounded or distal edentulous defects of the upper or lower jaw combined with soft tissue thickness deficiency around dental implants (<2 mm), requiring peri-implant soft tissue augmentation using a free connective tissue graft.
All patients will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the surgical intervention method. In the first group (n=16), a free connective tissue graft without an epithelial collar will be used, while in the second group (n=16), a free connective tissue graft with an epithelial collar will be used. The groups will be comparable in terms of age and sex characteristics.
Patient randomization will be performed intraoperatively as follows: after dental implant placement and preparation of the recipient site, an envelope containing the randomly assigned treatment method will be opened. Patients in both groups will undergo dental implant placement according to the standard surgical protocol combined with peri-implant soft tissue augmentation.
A mucosal incision will be performed followed by elevation of a mucoperiosteal flap, preparation of the implant bed, and placement of the dental implant. Subsequently, the recipient site will be prepared and a free connective tissue graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity or palatal area. Depending on the allocated group, a graft with or without an epithelial collar will be used. The graft will be fixed to the mucoperiosteal flap, followed by tension-free wound closure, while the donor site will be closed primarily.
In the postoperative period, standard antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy combined with topical antiseptic agents will be prescribed.

Change in the Width of Keratinized Mucosa
Periodo de tiempo: Day 90 compared to the 0th day (initial value)

Measurements will be performed using optical impressions obtained with the Primescan intraoral scanner (Dentsply/Sirona) or conventional impressions followed by digital scanning before surgery and on postoperative day 90.
Subsequently, STL files will be superimposed using GOM Inspect software, and contour changes will be assessed at three equidistant points.

Assessment of Scar Formation According to the Modified Scar Index (MSI)
Periodo de tiempo: Day 90 compared to the 0th day (initial value)
|
Assessment of postoperative soft tissue scar quality around dental implants is performed using the Modified Scar Index (MSI) according to Mombelli et al., based on the evaluation of five parameters: scar color, scar contour, soft tissue deformity, scar tissue texture, and wound margin separation.
Each parameter is assessed using a 3-point scale, where: 0 = optimal tissue condition; 1 = moderate scar changes; 2 = pronounced scar changes.
The total MSI score ranges from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating better clinical outcomes and minimal scar formation.
Clinical assessment is performed visually and by palpation, with additional evaluation using clinical photographs when necessary.
